Tobias,
Maybe only a few of us perceive that a good civilian impression is as important or more than a military one. What I have noticed is that civilians (no matter how much researched and authentic) are practically 'invisible' for the public and the media when there are sme fellows wearing shiny armour nearby... :x
I've experienced it on myself. Even if I portrait a military officer, I do it in the unarmoured condition and I've consistently noticed that my companions wearing loricae and helmets always draw the attention!
I think that it is a plausible reason (not the only one, of course!)for women wanting to play military roles...
The two women in our group were enlisted as soldiers first but they have chosen to play now civilian and only return to the uniforms when we have too many gaps in our ranks. No matter if historically uncorrect, we're in this hobby mainly for fun and if the women want to play male roles, who are us to say 'no'? 8)

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
